Diet restrictions shouldn't have to mean giving up your favorite treats. We're all guilty with trying to "cheat" or go against the Doctor's orders every now and then. Why not have a treat that you wouldn't have to feel guilty about?!

I love cookies and decided to contact Yes! To Cookies for a possible giveaway and they happily agreed. They mailed a package of cookies out promptly to my home and due to my being ill, this giveaway is a bit late so I apologize not only to the owners of Yes! To Cookies, I also apologize to my readers.

Yes! To Cookies are all natural cookies which is available in two flavors (Ready to eat or Mixes):Cocoa-Licious Strawberry-Banana Blitz

I absolutely love the names! I'm here to tell you about the company and the products, this is not a review. However, I want you to visualize taking a bite of a loved one's homemade banana bread. The Strawberry-Banana Blitz has a distinctive taste that reminded me of my grandmother's fresh, baked banana bread.

I'd now like to share what the company has to say about these cookies, each quote is accompanied with the link to that particular passage.

Each cookie has so little digestible carbohydrates that we can actually say it has zero starch and zero sugar! The 22 carbohydrates in a serving of Yes! To Cookies mix is not digested since these carbs come from fiber and no calorie sweeteners instead of starch and sugar.

The creator of Yes! To Cookies and his wife struggled with weight loss. With the advice of their physicians they had shifted their diets away from starchy, lower-nutrition foods while continuing to perfect the promising Yes! To Cookies recipe.

Those with Irritable Bowl Syndrome (IBS) must often eliminate starch as well as gluten from their diet. Making cookies without starch seemed impossible, until now. Yes!

A diet high in fiber is good for you and can help control the amount of calories you consume from carbohydrates. A diet high in fiber fills you up faster and is important for proper food digestion, providing the bulk your body needs to move the food through the different stages of digestion. A diet filled with soft, over processed, high carbohydrate food is an invitation for trouble.
